TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a high-output lithium secondary batteryhaving enhanced power density characteristics. More specifically, thepresent invention relates to a high-output lithium secondary batteryincluding: a cathode that includes, as cathode active materials, a firstcathode active material represented by Formula 1 below and having alayered structure and a second cathode active material represented byFormula 2 below and having a spinel structure, wherein the amount of thesecond cathode active material is between 40 and 100 wt % based on thetotal weight of the cathode active materials; an anode includingamorphous carbon having a capacity of 300 mAh/g or greater; and aseparator.

BACKGROUND ART

As mobile device technology continues to develop and demand thereforcontinues to increase, demand for secondary batteries as energy sourcesis rapidly increasing. In addition, secondary batteries have recentlybeen used as power sources for electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electricvehicles (HEVs), and the like. Accordingly, research into secondarybatteries that can meet a variety of demands is underway and, inparticular, demand for lithium secondary batteries having high energydensity, high discharge voltage and high output stability is increasing.

In particular, lithium secondary batteries used as power sources of EVsand HEVs require high-output characteristics that exhibit high outputwithin a short period of time.

Conventionally, a lithium cobalt composite oxide having a layeredstructure is generally used as a cathode active material of a lithiumsecondary battery. When a lithium cobalt composite oxide is used as acathode active material, however, cobalt as a main component is veryexpensive and output characteristics thereof are bad. Thus, lithiumsecondary batteries including such cathode active material are notsuitable for use in HEVs requiring high output because HEVs demand highoutput power from the batteries, particularly when starting from astandstill, rapidly accelerating, and the like.

Meanwhile, graphite is mainly used as an anode active material. However,graphite has poor properties and thus is not suitable for use as anenergy source for HEVs requiring high output.

Therefore, research into amorphous carbon as an anode active material isunderway. However, amorphous carbon has a low energy density, i.e., lessthan 300 mAh/g.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first cathodeactive material may be a layered-structure lithium transition metaloxide having an average particle diameter of 0.03 to 0.1 μm/mAh withrespect to capacity and a powder conductivity of 1×10⁻³ S/cm or greaterto less than 10×10⁻³ S/cm at a powder density of 2.65 to 2.85 g/cc.
